Reading: Immigration and Integration
Immigration and integration is a B2–C1 reading text on one of the most consequential social-policy topics in contemporary Western politics. The text covers patterns of migration (refugee flows, labour migration, family reunification, study), integration challenges (language, employment, cultural adjustment, intergenerational dynamics), integration approaches (multiculturalism, assimilation, intercultural), and contested policy questions (border control, citizenship, social cohesion). Learners read for policy-debate analysis, stakeholder identification, and balanced reasoning on a sensitive topic.
This worksheet builds B2–C1 reading comprehension through a migration-policy text.

Common challenges: Migration-policy vocabulary at C1 requires precision — refugee, asylum seeker, migrant, immigrant, expat, undocumented carry different legal and connotational weight. Distinguishing policy approaches: multiculturalism (preserve cultural differences) vs assimilation (adopt host culture) vs intercultural (mutual adjustment). Balanced reading on a politically charged topic.
